A whopping big celebration of the work of the late, great Nora Ephron, America's favorite funny--and perceptive--writer, famous for her brilliant takes on life as we've been living it these last forty years.
It's all here--from her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman (the notorious piece on being flat-chested, the clarion call of her commencement address at Wellesley) to her devastating best-selling novel, Heartburn, written in the wake of her disastrous marriage to Carl Bernstein, to her hilarious and touching screenplay for her movie When Harry Met Sally . . . ("I'll have what she's having"). From her ongoing love affair with food, recipes and all, to her extended takes on such iconic women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown to her pithy recent blogs on politics to her moving meditations on aging ("I Feel Bad About My Neck") and dying.
